When I asked Jules if I could share her picture on the blog – she immediately said

“Yeah for sure you can use my pic! Definitely like seeing other girls skate”

I say hurray for Jules and girls like her – they have fun skating, challenge themselves to try new stuff, and want to encourage and inspire others. I hate when skateboarding gets all competitive because it takes the fun out and leaves me emotionally drained.

So take time to share your pictures and inspire many more girls to skate.

Whoever, laughed, teased, bossed, ignored, lied to you – they’re in the past – when you put them there.

If a person keeps telling you they are your friend – we are in this together – hint hint if they’re telling not showing, they aren’t your friend on or off the board – exhale them

thanks Victoria Beckham always inspiring

May 1st – the 121st day of the year – summer is getting closer! Only 6 weeks of school left!!

As it gets warmer it’s time to say good buy to the hoodies. I’m already sneaking the floral prints in, I’m especially liking dark fabrics with vibrant floral prints- stay tuned for some cute pics.  What are other Skating Fashionistas looking forward to wearing this summer?

Keep sharing your pics – more girls do skate as they see girls skateboarding.  Together we inspire & thrive on & off the board!

Nina Moran is from Brooklyn where she skates & tie dyes – yes she’s wearing her work.  Love love love her account and her bio picture is one of the cutest I’ve ever seen – check it out you know you’re curious.

Nina is a Girls Riders Org supporter out on the East Coast – they’re an inspiration for us just starting in San Diego.  GRO is dedicated to inspiring, educating, and supporting girls through action sports to become confident leaders of positive change.

No matter your level – share your pictures – a picture really does speak a thousand words.  Skating is universal – we don’t need words to get more girls skateboarding – we need pictures of girls skateboarding to inspire other girls to start!

It’s Monday get out there skateboarding with your posse. I love that Andrea__Owl (yes 2 underscores) shared this photo.

Don’t have a posse – get out and skateboard anyway.  The posse will appear. Ok some days they don’t but I really believe that if you stick with skateboarding because you love it, you will attract a posse. And yes your posse can have boys – skateboarding is for everyone.

For me it isn’t about how high – how this or that – being the first, or even landing it – it’s about the fun and yes of course it’s me so the fashion. Be who you are when you skate – if you want to dress cute – do it – you want to wear makeup – wear it.

Your Vibe attracts your Tribe – so here’s to attracting a posse on & off the board that helps you be a better you.

My truth – I’m not committed to being a hardcore skater. I am committed to skating for fun and keeping my style.  I like to believe there’s room for everyone at the skate park.

I’m against snaking – because I like orderly turns and I really don’t want to collide with anyone – no not even the hella cute boy.

I really am happy for someone who lands incredible tricks and it really annoys me when people ask “Why can’t you do that?”  or “Could you do something better for the camera?”

I skate for me not the camera. I share pictures of my skating because I want more girls to know #girlscanskate and that true skaters skate for the love of it!

Happy Earth Day. It’s important to celebrate Earth everyday by taking care of it. Some easy ways to do that are Reduce – Reuse – Recyle – yes I love Curios George and Jack Johnson!

My home town Encinitas, CA just started the “Single-Use Disposable Bag Reduction” Ordinance an easy reminder to bring your own bag. My favorite bag to bring Baggu and today it’s 20% off!

As for Reuse – I totally share my little bros cute clothes. And finally for Recyle if you aren’t drinking Boxed Water what are you waiting for?  If you post a picture drinking Boxed Water #retree they plant 2 trees – celebrate Earth Day by helping Boxed Water meet their goal of 100,000 trees!

Till next time keep it stylish on & off the board remembering trash is always out of style and showing you care is classic style.

Sometimes it’s the smallest thing that makes the biggest difference.

Just take the ‘t off and #yesyoucan.

I’m grateful for all the people who believe I can, because it’s gives me the courage to try!

Hope this blog posts inspires someone to cut the “T” out of their vocab!

Sea.shelly is stylish on her skateboard. She’s also wise with the advice of “do what makes you happy”.

I think it’s doing not having that makes you happy. We hear a lot about get this or that and you’ll be happy. But even if you get a skateboard – you won’t be happy till you ride it. I know because I had a skateboard for about a year before I rode it. I was my enemy. I was afraid I’d fall – ok I still don’t like falling. I was worried people would laugh. I had so many fears and worries I made myself unhappy.

This weekend do what makes you happy – even if it scares you or others think what? Choose to be happy for yourself – on & off the skateboard.

Siu Wingyee lives in Guangzhou City, China.   She usually skates in Hero Square with her friends.  She reports that there are more and more girls starting to skateboard in China!

“So glad to know someone is concerned about girls skating” – Siu Wingyee

Siu Wingyee – I’m super excited that more and more girls are skateboarding.  My coach Neal Mims is headed to China to do some skateboarding.  I think closer to the coast at an indoor facility – my fashion sense is much stronger than my geography skills.  Hope Neal brings a report back for the blog.

Fabulous ollie Siu Wingyee – I’m really glad you’re skateboarding with style and proving #girlscanskate!
